BFG Mud Terrain mileage?

How many miles r people getting out of the BFG MT? I ask because im buying new tires next week and i would like to replace my BFG ATs with BFG MTs. I got darn near 60k out of my BFG ATs, i know the MTs will wear faster, but as long as i get 40 or 50k miles out of them id be happy with that. Im putting 35x12.5x17 on the beast, SAMS club has them for 237 each, if anyone knows where i can get them cheaper or a comparable tire cheaper, im listening.

thanks ahead of time
joel

Go for it. You'll easily get 40k out of them. Best looking MT tire in my opinion.

I got just over 40,000 on mine. I'm getting new tires tomorrow, because only one of my BFG is bald from doing a burn out in rev for about 1 min. (long story) and the other three are cupped and shack alot do to poor maintance. I only rotated them two times in 36,000 miles. You should be able to get well over 40,000 on them if you rotate them about every 6,000 mile. If you don't rotate MT's that often they start to cup and shack bad.

I have about 35,000 on my 35-12.5-18s. I love them, they are quiet and still ride really good for a mud terrain. I rotate mine every other oil change, so 6-7000 miles. Im expecting 50,000 or so and I would highly recommend them.

toyo open country mt is very good also. have about 1400 miles on them. so not too much experience with them but reasonably quiet. i can carry on a conversation at highway speeds. And for a mud terrain, they did very well in the loose sand today. no problems at all

I am also looking at BFG mud terrains. I was curious what kind of millage (miles per gallon) are you getting with a 35? Does the higher rolling resistance of a mud terrain effect it much?
My practical side tells me to get all terrains, but I love the look of mud terrains.

Toyo's are also a ton more expensive, and weigh a lot more. The additional weight will hurt your gas mileage, and nowhere are you going to find Toyos for 237 each.

They're okay in the snow, but they're not so great on the wet and icey roads that go along with the snow.
